Your interpretation of my comment, though I guess intended as a joke, can only really mean two things: 1. You are unaware of DHH’s more recent favoured topics 2. You don’t think there is a problem with DHH’s opinions Either is fine, I don’t

In case anyone isn't familiar with remix, bloomingkales seemingly has no familiarity with the framework. Obviously it's not been created as a conspiracy to sell training courses. The idea is ludicrous. It's quite a nice frame

The title made me think this was about a 'negative 40B pivot', when it actually means an 'approximately 40B pivot'. Does hacker news not support Tildes or what?

“ The process is self-reinforcing; the more degraded it becomes, the harder it is to develop a useful and accurate theory.” This is a really good point I think. It feels like the Sprint / Agile practices that a lot of us use lead us to

This is a nice project, but it kind of feels like the result of someone who's just learnt about Rust/Haskell and wants to port what they know to JavaScript. There's a lot of more established and battle tested libraries with t
